Since the election I'm surprised he lasted this long at CNN, he deserved better.....and Fox news will likely be the beneficiary of CNNs loss!

Good luck Lou, you were the last voice of of reason on CNN.

I can see Lou being sat down by the head honcho and being told to sugar coat everything coming from the 'big house' and Lou saying "I don't think so, I'll call them as I see them". So now the last shred of decency has now left the Communist News Network.....and I blame Anita Dunn!

The down side is that now the messiah's Marxist clan will only have one network to demonize as satins network.....luckily we all know that is MSNBC! ;)

He was the only one I watched on CNN with the exception of the occasional Larry King Live when someone I wanted to hear was on. He had a good one last week (I think) where I got to hear Senator Paul point out how dumb Michael Moore is.

Anyway, I guess now I have to find something else to fill that 2o'clock time slot.

That would be change I could believe in. :D How about a twofer; trade Shep Smith and Geraldo?

I'm sure we all saw that coming. There is no room for the truth on CNN.

There's been no truth in our mainstream media for some time now... Lou Dobbs is just the latest.

Media reform and the ouster of Lou Dobbs: Yes we can
By David Neiwert Thursday Nov 12, 2009 12:00pm

Gosh. Looks like we won't have Lou Dobbs to kick around anymore. Except, of course, for when he lands that fat Fox Business Channel gig.

In the meantime, some congratulations are in order -- and, as Greg Sargent suggests, the left blogosphere in general deserves a great deal of credit in finally forcing one of the nation's leading hatemongers -- and disinformation specialists -- out the door.

That's especially the case with Media Matters, which really led the way. (MM has great retrospective of their own.) And the campaigns that organized to compel his ouster at CNN -- including Basta Dobbs, Drop Dobbs, and America's Voice -- should take a bow as well.

While we wait for the right-wing violins to cue their usual "Mean Liberals Went On a Witch Hunt" number, we should also take special note of what this means: It means that liberal activism to force our media to act responsibly works.

I know that a lot of time it feels like we're just shouting into the wind. It's that feeling of utter helplessness that ordinary citizens always get when they pit themselves against the power of big money and big corporations. Sure, we can document all the media misbehavior we like, but it's becoming so voluminous and steady now that it's hard to keep up, and it's even harder to spark outrage over it.

But eventually, if we keep pounding and pounding and working, it works.

The biggest job of all lies ahead, of course: Confronting Fox News, whose daily deluge of disinformation and fearmongering is so immense now that it makes Dobbs' contributions shrink to insignificance.

But it's true: Yes, we can do this. And we must.

I truly do think these people have clinical mental issues.
